Steve Boehne
Steve Boehne (bay-knee) was 13 years old in 1960 when he learned to shape and glass in a neighbor's garage.They bought blanks from Wilshire Foam in Torrance, whose main product was foam for flower arrangements; consequently the blanks were either red or green. Boehne would chalk line the blanks, cut them and glue the stringers in with inner tube rubber bands. In 1967, Boehne got a job shaping for Gordie Surfboards in Huntington Beach. "Gordie" was known for his craftmanship with fancy stringers, nose blocks and tail blacks. He was tough to work for, but he was an excellent teacher."

Pat RawsonPat Rawson is a legendary shaper based on the North Shore of Oahu.
He began shaping in his parents garage in Playa Del Rey in 1966 by peeling the glass off of old boards and reshaping them. Pat moved to the North Shore in 1974 to finish college and shape surfboards. In 1977 he founded Local Motion surfboards with Rob Burns.
Pat was working with Gordon Clark at Clark Foam from the beginning experimenting with foam densities, foils and rockers and Pat shaped many of the surfboard blanks that shapers make their boards out of today.
Living and shaping in Hawaii has given Pat the opportunity to build boards for the best surfers in the world for all types of surfing conditions from perfect Pipeline to small South Shore. In the 70’s “Buttons” Kaluhiokalani and Larry Bertlemann helped to make his small wave designs popular.
